About the GlobalScene Program
The films in this block treat sound, voice, and listening as core storytelling elements rather than background texture. Some stories approach communication through rhythm and music, while others look at everyday noise or the challenge of being understood when people around you listen differently.
Gathered from international filmmakers, this block encourages children and parents to pay attention to subtle audio cues, unspoken gestures, and how shared soundscapes build empathy across cultures.
As part of the international lineup for GlobalScene NextScene 2026, this 8+ screening gives young viewers in Jakarta an immersive cinematic experience that speaks directly to their ears and imagination.
